    Zab and Pac fight nothing alike. Zab's style will always give PBF more fits than Pac's will for the exact reasons that I mentioned earlier in this thread. It has everything to do with styles but you're too stupid to see it.:-(

    Pacquiao will have to take him out early. Once Floyd figures out Pac's rhythm and goes into cruise control, he'll coast to a wide UD or mid/late round stoppage.

    It really depends how many times Roach can stand to see his man tattooed with overhand rights.

    You actually care about titles? :lol:

    Cory Spinks had a decent career but got the chances he got, because of his last name. Does he have a better resume than a guy like Sven Ottke, who, deservedly, gets **** on? Not really. Spinks was a good enough fighter, beat a couple of good fighters but that's it. He was far from elite throughout his career.

    Spinks, like Judah, is no better than Clottey or Berto now.

    :lol:

    Tell me, what exactly was Judah good at? If he didn't have such fast hands or power, would he have done what he did? When did he ever have to rely on boxing skills to beat a top fighter? Good physically but he was overly reliant on those physical skills. Not only did he lack the heart, he also lacked the fundementals.

    But people like you always overrate him. You still do.

    Floyd is gonna whip pac and I hope everyone who hates floyd is ready to truly crown him the best of the era hands down. I see Floyd vs pac playing out in a simular fashion as all of floyd's fights. The first 3-4 rounds will be close and anxious, then floyd will figure pac out and make it a normal nothing special fight.

    From what I saw in the clottey fight to what I saw in the marquez fights, I feel the weakness is still there and floyd can definately be the one to bring it full circle. When pacman was throwing punches, clottey sat in the shell and would only return one punch at a time in various spots far and in between. When clottey did throw while pac was attacking, he would snap pac's head back and go right back into the shell. Clottey wouldn't throw more than one punch until pac stopped swinging and took a break with his arms up. When pac took these little breaks, clottey couldn't do anything because pac was being defensive and saw everything coming. Clottey should have thrown more than one punch everytime he felt himself land on Pac. Those 4-7 punches per round could have turned into 12-21 punches landed per round. Obviously clottey didn't have the sack or gameplan to do this. It's like he never watched any of the marquez fights. If clottey would have made pac pay then pac wouldn't have been attacking like a madman breaking his punch output record. He would have slowed down and faught at a pace closer to his USUAL 70 punches per round instead of 100+, and most likely wouldn't have thrown that many if he were countered effectively.

    When he fights mayweather that counter right hand landing is coming faster and harder than what was thrown by clottey followed by a left hook (before pac refocuses) and then another straight right. Pac is gonna slow down and start fighting a usual mayweather fight after mayweather makes him pay consistantly. Freddy roach will be pulling his hair out and yelling at pac what to do only to see pac go out there and repeat the process for 8 or 9 rounds straight. Not to mention he has never faced anyone near his speed and he is gonna be very cautous. This is why he didn't come at marquez like a mad man the entire fight, because marquez threw combinations when he landed which made pac box instead of fighting super aggressively as he does. Mayweather can do this far better than marquez and will make manny reluctant. It will end up being a typical, dominate PBF UD. I think he will even be putting a strong emphasis on knocking manny out once he slows manny down.

    I could say the same **** about Pac who lacks fundementals, no jab comes in off balanced and wide open he relies too much on his physical attributes and is taken apart when he faces elite boxers in EM and JMM.:deal

    The problem with Manny is that he gets hit too much. We saw this in his fights with JMM. For all of Manny's speed and angles, he was getting busted it up pretty good by JMM.

    Pacquiao schooled Barrera, was even with JMM in the second bout, beat Morales twice, beat good boxers in Cotto and more.

    You could say it, but you'd be making yet another **** post.

    Pacquiao is a great boxer, anyway. It's a shame he's not black because you're missing out on supporting a good fighter, mate.

    Agreed but;

    Pacquiao has improved since then, isn't weight drained and Mayweather is not as good a puncher as Marquez.
